This weekend, we’re proud to have sponsoring the 3x3 competition at the Wheelchair Basketball Club Championships.

The connection between Mogo and Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT is built on decades of involvement in wheelchair sport, with Mogo founder Michael Callahan playing an important role in the game’s history.

Introduced to Wheelchair Basketball in 1980, Michael went on to represent NSW and Australia, and competing at the 1984 and 1988 Paralympic Games. In 1998, he was inducted into the Wheelchair Basketball Hall of Fame for his contribution to the sport.

His impact extended beyond the court. Michael began making wheelchairs for his club alongside fellow athletes, ensuring newly injured people had the opportunity to try a sports wheelchair. His innovative designs helped push the boundaries of wheelchair technology and reshape the game.

Following Michael’s passing in 2019, his son Leon and the dedicated Mogo team have continued his legacy, crafting each wheelchair with the same attention to detail, care and passion that Michael brought to the business for more than 40 years.

This weekend, we celebrate the lasting connection between Wheelchair Sport and Mogo, honouring the people whose passion, determination and innovation have helped the game grow.

Thank you, Mogo Wheelchairs, for sponsoring the 3x3 competition and continuing to support the future of Wheelchair Basketball.

This weekend, we’re proud to have Forward Ability Support & BrightSky Australia as the Presenting Partners of the Wheelchair Basketball Club Championships, delivered by Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT in partnership with the Illawarra Wheelchair Basketball Club.

Our organisations share a history that dates back to 1961, when the Paraplegic and Quadriplegic Association of NSW established a Sports Club, helping create opportunities for people with spinal cord injuries to participate in sport.

In 1987, the sporting club became an independent organisation, evolving into Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT as we know it today.

While our paths have evolved, our shared commitment remains the same, creating opportunities for people with disability to participate in sport and reach their potential.

This weekend’s championships celebrate that legacy, bringing clubs and athletes together with a shared love of Wheelchair Basketball.

A huge thank you to Forward Ability Support for continuing to support the growth and future of wheelchair sport.

Together, we’re building on our shared history to create the next chapter of wheelchair sport.

Today we celebrated 20 years of service to our organisation from Brendon Talbott. As a Presenter for our Wheelchair Sport Experience (formerly the Roadshow), Brendon has been an incredible employee over the years, always bringing his dedication, empathy & good humour to the role.

It is hard to imagine how many school students and businesses Brendon has presented to in that time. On behalf of everyone you have worked with over 20 years, and all of the people who you have reached in your role, thank you Brendon for everything.

You’re a gentleman and we are grateful for you.
